Beth, I know how you feel. I had twins (they'll be four next month) 
when my oldest was 19 months. You are tired, tired, tired, tired, 
tired. (I'm just tired, tired! haha) I especially understand how 
they always seem to go in different directions. It wasn't until 
they were almost three and my oldest was four that I felt almost 
comfortable enough to take them to the park by myself! 

I have to admit that I have also been bad about keeping to the nos 
diet, but I am much more aware of the sweets that I used to eat 
everyday (a little bit doesn't hurt...yeah, right!) and the seconds 
I used to gobble up off my kids plates (there are hungry people out 
there!) and the snacks I ate throughout the day (in case I'm sooooo 
busy that I might have to skip lunch!). Hopefully, I can get the 
discipline to really stick to it and EXERCISE!!!! I thought the 
shovel glove sounded a little to easy, but reading what others have 
said about it, I might give it a shot! Being a stay-at-home mom 
with three preschoolers just doesn't give me a lot of time to go to 
the gym and 14 minutes I can do. Till next time...Maria
